Christopher Michael McKenna

I have been heartbroken for 8 days. Kevin, you are so strong and I thank you for reaching out to me. I am so deeply saddened by this tragedy and I want to send my love to everyone in the McKenna family and everyone that loved Chris. There were so many. I look forward to seeing all of you on June 11th. Number 32. A true legend.

My deepest and most heartfelt sympathies go out to your family. I knew Chris at SKS and was very close to Chris for a few years. The news of his passing made me pause and reflect on how precious life really is. I hope his memory lives on in the hearts of all who loved him. He will be sorely missed.

My deepest sympathies. I didn't have the pleasure of knowing Chris well, but we went to the UConn branch at the same time and would occasionally play basketball between classes. I'll remember his joyful demeanor and contagious enthusiasm. I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope all the wonderful memories offer some comfort during this unimaginably difficult time.

There are no words....My heart is so sad for everyone. I am so sorry.

Dear McKenna family,

We are truly heartbroken for you all. There simply are no words; there is no greater loss. He was way too young and full of life. Please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers. We can only hope that your many memories and stories of wonderful shared times will help to bring you a tiny bit of peace during this most devastating time.

With deep sadness and heartfelt sympathy,
Becky and Scott Thornton

Dear Uncle Mike,

Dear Mike, Sue, Kaitlyn, Kerry and Kevin,

Karen and I are so sorry to hear of this sad news. It breaks our hearts. We will always remember Chris with fond memories. Chris will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all and if you need anything please let Karen or I know. We are both so saddened and wish there was something we could do.

Chris was full of life and always happy, with a fun attitude. I saw him at Silo with his driving business and was good to catch up. I also work with Justin Lind and he would let me know Chris was still playing ball and having fun with his friends every week and would let me know how Chris was doing.

I remember Chris as the big boy in our small neighborhood when all our kids were young. Chris playing basketball with Tom and me in the circle was always fun. Tom looked up to him like a big brother. I'm sure Chris taught Tom some things about life being the big kid on the block.

Karen shared a story last night where Chris was so helpful lifting our dog Maggie into the back of her car because Maggie was sick.

We could go on with many fond memories...

Our hearts are heavy and our thoughts and prayers are with you. God Bless.

Mike and Karen
